Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK July 90.
The announcement that Jem Smith and
Jake kilrain have been matched has been
made public According to this manifesto
they will meet in Spain on Jan. 3, 1888,
there to battle with bare knuckles and to
finish of course. The site will be selected
within 100 miles of Madrid, and it is an
nounced that only limited number of spec
tators will be permitted to witness the bat
tie. The match has really been made and
money put up on each side, and still | do
not believe the men will face one another in
the square circle on the appointed day.

be in private, Kilrain would be morally GER

he should amply prove his ability to conquer
the English representative without any very
great exertion. l am now from informa-

The CKinese Ineterate Gamblers.

THE Chinese are the most inveterate
gamblers in the world. says an Orientally
inclined friend of mine. John Chinaman
will work all the week, night and day,
for the sake of gathering together few
dollars with which to play Il favorite
game on Sunday. He will "blow in"
every cent.and start for home in the small
hours of Monday morning completely
cleaned out, but apparently as happy and
contented as ever. In the Chinese quar-
ters, of New York there is clique of
Celestial shaprers who regularly fleece
their less sophisticated countrymen.
Some of them are worth all the way from
$4,000 800, 600, and ii is simply imposs-
ible for their comparatively poor victims
to get the best of them. The majority of
Cinnamon play simply for the sake of
gambling and win go back again and a
gain to the dens where they have been
repeatedly robbed of their hard earned
dollars. This fact is but too we'll known
to the blacklegs running the fan tan
games, and l understand that few, il any,
of the dens are conducted ION the square.

wo rtls OF wisdom.

Happiness is where is it found and seldom
where itis.seught.
Some people are like boys rocking
horse; full of motion, but no progress.
!. Speak little, and speak well, If you
would be looked upon as a man of merit.
An open mind, an open hand and an
open heart, will everywhere find an open
door,
Fretfulness of. temper viii generally
characterize those who are negligent of
order.
Remember that valuable as is the gift
of speech, the gift of silence is often much
more precious.
The way of truth is like great road.
1t is not difficult to know it The evil Is
only that men will not seek It. Do you
go home and search for it.
Employment, which Galen calls''Na-
ture's physician" is so essential to hu-
man happiness that Incidence is justly
considered the mother of misery.
God made both tears and laughter, and
both for kind purposes for as laughter en-
ables mirth and surprise to breathe freely,
SO tears enable sorrow to vent itself pa
tiently. Tears hinder sorrow from be-
coming despair and madness.

had A 700 head up there when the

By hard work he and his shepherds
got about $500 over the crest into
a place of safety, but the fire came
up so rapidly that 700 were overtak
en- and burned. The heat was SO
great that many of the poor animals
swelled up and burst. There was
great destruction, also timber, very
large area being burned over. The
fire is laid to careless prospectors.

1t Should He Confir I'M ed

When President Cleveland ap-
pointed Chas w. Irish to the Office
of United States Land Surveyor for
Nevada, there was some little talk
about the gentleman being a nom
resident, This was by Republicans
as we'll as Democrats, and was said
before giving the gentleman a chance
to speak for himself Since Mr..
Irish has been in the Office and in
the State he has shown himself
to be one of the best friends Nevada
ever had, and we believe that his
appointment should be confirmed.
He is a resident of this State and
has inaugurated some much needed
reforms here in the conduct Of the
land business. There is not a man
who should not urge the President
to confirm his appointment for by
having a gentleman OF such integri-
ty and sterling worth as Ir. Irish
is possessed at the head of our most
important departments, the State
cannot help but be benefited. Lyon

Death of a Noted Gambler.

George Duval, ga noted monte
man from way back" died in St.
Louis last week. He is said to have
outwitted the most notorious sharps.
He and Canada Bill, for years, fol-
lowed the Central and Union Pacif-
ic making their headquarters by
turns at Omaha, Salt Lake, Elko,
Winnemucca, Reno and San Fran
cisco. Finally their depredations
became so numerous and the COM
plants against them SO general, that
the very strictest measures had to DE
taken by the railroad lines to rid
the cars of their presence. In time
they found their unlawful business
unpr ofitable, and finally abandon
ed it altogether
Duyal went to st. Louis, where
he engaged in legitimate trade.
But it is said at times the love of
adventure overcame his reformation
and he would disappear for weeks,
to be heard of in some of the Terri
tories, where for brief season he
piled his tricks and games on the
foolish and unwary.

A naAcK-HEARTED WRETCH
HOW Old Doc. Mcdonald rs
!. Fighting His Daughters
i'm LAW.

I
The legal contests in the Melon
aid family OF San Francisco are be-
| ing watched with great interest in
this city, from the fact that Mrs.
| Mcdonald lived in Carson from a
child, being the daughter OF Mr..
Gardner and the sister of Mrs.
Scovillo. She left many warm
friends here, who believe today
with the APPEAL that her acts dur
ing the past few months have been
those of a woman not in her right
mind. Ii half the reports about
DIR. Mcdonald and his son are
true, a woman must indeed have a
strong mind to keep her reason and
associate with such wretches.
DIR. Mcdonald, a man of enor-
nous wealth, is now spending his
money to blast the character of his
daughter-in-law. A few months
ago he told half a dozen people that
she was insane, and in no way re-
sponsible for her acts.
During the time he considered
her insane he had private detect
ives on her trail, watching every
movement, and these men in COM
pany with bell boys and hotel soul
lions and chambermaids in Melon
AIDS employ are in the case, hound
ing this insane woman.
But the blacklist thing that has
come out is where a witness, per-
feet stranger to Mrs. Mcdonald, Of
fered to go on her bail. When she
was in the city prison With a sick
child this man threatened to with
draw from her bonds unless she
would consent to become his mis-
tress.
1t is charged that this reptile was
in McDonald's employ, and con-
tracted to compromise her for SO
much money. Such a scallawag
should be hung, but hanging would
be a long way too good tor his en-
ployer.
